The Libby Logger Legion baseball team ended a Sunday doubleheader in dramatic fashion, rallying from three runs down to earn an 11-10 walkoff victory.

Austin Marshall struck a game-winning single for Libby in the bottom of the seventh. Teammate Cameron Burkes went 5-for-5 in the nightcap.

The Loggers dropped the first game, 5-1. Bitterroot pitchers Dylan Gavlak and Patrick Pape limited the Logger bats to five hits.
